GIBSON 2013 LES PAUL 50s TRIBUTE T p90 Goldtop Worn Satin Relic 31644
Beautiful goldtop satin finish is what sets this Paul apart from the pack.
You're looking at a 2013 Gibson Les Paul 50s Tribute in a satin goldtop finish that really turns heads. This guitar is in great playing condition. There is some confusion on these Tribute models and people often are selling a 60s Tribute thinking it's 50s. The main difference being the rounded 50s neck profile. This one is definitely a thick chunky 50s neck, not the slim taper 60s profile. It also has the dual black covered P90s, so lot of killer tone there.
These satin finish Tribute models have a thin finish that won't choke your tone, and they also tend to relic quickly. This one has some minor marks (see pics below) but overall is very clean. Some nice details--the Grover kidney bean tuners, large neck inlays--make it an attractive vintage/modern hybrid. Weight is 9 pounds, 1 ounce. No case. Currently strung with colored strings. I do a full cleaning and setup on all guitars. (Details on my setups and packing at bottom of listing.) Thanks for looking.

Guitar Setup
My setup on guitars includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, cleaning any gunk off fingerboard, oiling neck, and polishing frets when necessary. I spray out any pots that are noisy. I turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. Since setup is highly subjective you may need to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier. I don't claim to be a trained luthier, but I'm able to set guitars/basses for a reasonable out-of-box experience and have had very few complaints. If you're looking for the perfect setup on a used guitar, please expect to take it to a trained luthier who is familiar with your individual playing style and preferences. ps: basses get the same setup minus the new strings. Thanks!
Packing
I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have a very high rate of successful guitar and bass shipping (meaning few damaged instruments). I have been doing this 10 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. I wrote a detailed story with photos on how I pack a guitar, which you can find on my StillKickinMusic site blog. If you Google "THERE IN ONE PIECE...How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.
